Antique Caucasian Shirvan Rug, Caucasus, Circa 1900 – Vibrant colors and detailed symbolic motifs decorate the splendid sapphire blue field of this antique Caucasian rug from Shirvan. Serrated tone-on-tone latticework patterns defined by contrasting ruby red outlines crisscross the strong blue field. Small-scale protection symbols rendered in clear white are cleverly tucked into the detailed allover pattern. Colorful primary borders decorated with a bold floral pattern are paired with vibrant secondary borders decorated with juxtaposed stripes placed at offset angles. Detailed rosettes each bordered with secondary outlines decorate the obscure main borders, which feature colorful rosettes surrounded by angular vine scrolls and stacked berekets that link the vibrant Caucasian color palette, which includes saffron yellow, blue and red paired with clear white accents.
